Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and halved
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 garlic clove, halved
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon grated lime peel
5 drops hot pepper sauce
tortilla chips

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine the first 10 ingredients; cover and process until smooth. Serve with tortilla chips. Yield: 5 servings.
  • Editor's Note: When cutting hot peppers, disposable gloves are recommended. Avoid touching your face.

Tips:

  • Pick the right tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are the best choice for this sauce because they are less watery and have a more concentrated flavor. If you can't find Roma tomatoes, you can use other types of tomatoes, but you may need to adjust the amount of water or tomato paste you use.
  • Roast the tomatoes before blending them. Roasting the tomatoes will help to concentrate their flavor and give the sauce a deeper, richer color. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the stovetop.
  • Use fresh garlic and onions. Fresh garlic and onions will give the sauce a more flavorful and aromatic flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic or onions, you can use dried garlic and onion powder, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Add some heat. If you like spicy food, you can add some heat to the sauce with cayenne pepper, chili powder, or diced jalapeƱos. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Simmer the sauce for a while. Simmering the sauce for a while will help to develop the flavors and thicken the sauce. You can simmer the sauce for as little as 30 minutes or as long as 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Picante sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, nachos, and more. It's also a great dipping sauce for chips or vegetables. If you're looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your next meal, picante sauce is a great option. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and flavorful picante sauce at home.
